The VideoLAN Forums

Hello,
I wonder if someone can tell me how to take part of a video out. I have downloaded one that I think would be a great screensaver if set on continuous loop. The problem is I don't want to writing that it includes during the first and last 5 seconds of it. I'm old and not very computer oriented. Can anyone help me please?

Best is to use a dedicated video editor.

Some examples of free and open source ones, among other ones:
Avidemux
Shotcut

A bit late to the conversation, but Handbrake (free & open source) can do this too.
